Take Oklahoma City – San Antonio OVER (#559-560)

Neither of these two teams have a worse offensive game in them than the one we just saw.  Neither San Antonio nor OKC shot 40% from the floor in Sunday’s defensive scrum.  They combined for a woeful 15-66 shooting effort from three point range, less than 23% from beyond the arc.  The refs swallowed their whistles for extended stretches as well, with a modest 50 free throw attempts for the game.  Shai Gilgeous Alexander knows what OKC needs to do to bounce back tonight: “To score on them, it's gonna take quick decisions, you gotta be really good offensively.”  Expect points and pace throughout!  Take the OVER.

De'Aaron Fox Points + Rebounds Over 17.5 (-129)

This is a free play on FOX Over 17.5 pts & reb.

Fox had a double double in 31 minutes in Game 4, and while he may not be 100 percent he has proved he can still be effective. He appears to be undervalued due to the injury concerns. He's gone over this number in 12 of his last 16 games.

Event:
(559) San Antonio Spurs at (560) Oklahoma City Thunder: Luke Kornet Points
Date/Time:
Play:
Luke Kornet Points Over 3.5 (-108)

Kornet’s role has quietly become stable enough for this number to matter.

He’s scored 4, 4, and 6 points over the last three games while getting 2, 3, and 4 field goal attempts. The important thing is the shot quality—almost everything he gets is directly at the rim, so he doesn’t need volume to cash this prop.

He’s also consistently playing around 12–13 minutes, which is enough for an efficient big man to get to 4+ points.

There’s additional upside built into the game environment too. If the Spurs’ bigs get into foul trouble, or if the game turns into a fourth-quarter blowout, Kornet could easily see extra run.

For a player getting high-percentage looks and stable rotation minutes, this number feels very manageable.

Behind 33 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three blocks from Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio defeated the Thunder 103-82 in Game 4 on Sunday night to tie the Western Conference finals. The decisive factor was San Antonio’s defensive adjustment, which held the Thunder to 33% shooting overall and 6-of-33 from 3-point range (18%). “I think we made a great defensive adjustment,” Devin Vassell said. “I don’t want to say what it was. We were just able to rotate to the shooters and not give them so many wide-open 3s.” The result was Oklahoma City’s second-lowest scoring output of the postseason. The low-scoring Game 4 is significant because NBA teams coming off a loss that went under the total by more than 23 points are 252-185-6 ATS (57.7%) when one additional parameter is satisfied. This situation has been 119-72 (62.3%) since the beginning of the 2022-23 season, covering the spread by an average margin of 2.9 points per game. Since 1997, NBA playoff favorites entering off a loss are 400-318-11 ATS (55.7%) from Game 2 forward, including 87-64-1 ATS (57.6%) since 2021. Moreover, Game 5 favorites are 26-9 SU and 23-12 ATS (65.7%) since 2003, including 8-2 SU and ATS (80%) since 2019. Finally, NBA teams coming off a loss are 46-32-1 ATS (59%) in the Conference Finals, covering the Vegas number by an average of 3.2 points per game. Lay the points with the Oklahoma City Thunder as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Tuesday, May 26.

NBA Betting Picks Today, NBA Predictions Tonight 

One of the most refreshing aspects of NBA picks free from WagerTalk is the frequency with which they're offered.  These are not AI picks that are just churned out nonsensically a week in advance.  These NBA picks free that are made available for today and for tonight's NBA games reflect the most recent news, injury reports, trades, matchup evaluations and much more.  They're fresh, they're frequent, and they're spectacular. 
 

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks

ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors.  They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.

Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

Free NBA MoneyLine Predictions

NBA moneyline betting picks are free and common from WagerTalk.  You'll see them every day from WagerTalk's team. NBA moneyline betting could not be simpler. And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.

Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA Predictions 

Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.

If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.

If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!

Props & Parlay NBA Betting Picks - Free NBA Picks & Parlays

WagerTalk gives you free NBA player props and team props throughout the year.  The undisputed online leader in NFL and MLB player props, WagerTalk's expert prop bettors apply that knowledge to NBA props as well. 

Is there a tasty NBA player prop out there that you haven't noticed?  Maybe a not particularly good at rebounding guard is playing against a team that bombs away from long-range and bricks hard.  Maybe that player's over/under rebounds line is something like 3.  Well, in this matchup, he's got a good shot at knocking well past that 3 rebounds, making him a great NBA player prop pick - WagerTalk can find that prop. 

Guaranteed NBA Picks & NBA Hot Picks Today

Any premium NBA package purchased from WagerTalk has the option of making it a guaranteed NBA pick - which simply means you can insure your purchase.  

NBA Hot picks today and tonight are covered in both premium paid picks and NBA free picks - our NBA expert picks take a look at matchups that might be misconstrued by the current odds and show you ways to take advantage of potential mismatches.
